What are the benefits of house call acupuncture?
What are the benefits of house call acupuncture?

I come to you. When working in a clinical setting, I frequently had patients tell me that they wished they could teleport home and skip their stressful commute after their relaxing treatment. With living in a city as energetically charged as New York City, sometimes the hectic commute to and from the treatment can interfere with our treatment goals.

You have my undivided attention. During a house call treatment, my attention is solely on you and your healing. This gives us the freedom to explore various healing modalities that aren’t a possibility in a fast paced clinical setting.

Provides treatment for people who are not mobile. Whether it’s because of a chronic or acute injury, a high-risk pregnancy, or a disability that makes navigating NYC difficult, I am here to travel to you.

Treat your body and your home. Healing in the comforts of your own home is a powerful way to bring balance into one’s life. The energy of your surroundings is what sets you up for each day. Along with treating you, I also like to do some energy clearing for your home, so that your mind, body, and surroundings feel refreshed after every treatment.

Make your time work for you. Living in New York can often mean that any outing takes double the time when factoring in the commute. Because I come to you, you can schedule acupuncture during times you normally wouldn’t be able to, like on your lunch hour!

It’s more fun! Each treatment is custom-tailored to what you need at that moment. We can play music that inspires you, incorporate your favorite essential oils, and burn dried plants with healing properties like sage and palo santo. If you have any special requests outside of the usual realm of a healing treatment, I will always do my best to accommodate them.

The beautiful thing about Chinese medicine is that you don’t need a Western diagnosis to receive treatment. Regardless of your history with how other medical interventions have helped, I treat the symptoms you’re presenting with during the time of treatment. So, chances are, Chinese medicine can help you in one way or another. Some conditions I treat and types of treatments I provide are:

Anxiety and depression

Insomnia

Digestive concerns

Acute and chronic pain

All stages of pregnancy and postpartum

Labor preparation

Fertility and IVF support

End of life care

Spiritual and major life transitions

If you’re uncertain whether Chinese medicine is a good fit for you, please reach out to me!

What do you bring to my home?
What do you bring to my home?

I bring all the tools needed for your treatment, which may include acupuncture needles, moxibustion, essential oils, and medical cups depending on what we discussed during your initial virtual intake. I do not bring a treatment table as fitting a table in a New York City home can be a challenge, and I never want your treatments to cause you stress with having to rearrange your space. We can work on your couch, bed, favorite comfy chair, or even your yoga mat if that’s where you find the most peace! We can also work outside if you have a private outdoor space. If you would like me to bring a treatment table, please contact me.

Can you treat my partner, family member, or roommate at the same time as me?

Where do you travel to?

I travel to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. I travel to homes and hotels, so feel free to book a treatment with me while you’re visiting New York! Please note that for any commutes longer than an hour, there may be an additional charge.
